About the race
Course de la Cité-Limoilou, presented by Clinique dentaire Myriam Hébert, is an urban running event in Québec that combines running with street arts and family activities. The event includes live musical performances and street artists such as face painters and balloon sculptors, and offers multiple activities for children and adults.
The event proposes several race distances and formats:
- 10 km
- 5 km with separate ranking
- 5 km poussette with separate ranking
- 2 km
- 1.5 km
- 1 km
The courses run through Vieux-Limoilou, including sections of 2e Avenue and 3e Avenue. In 2023 the organizers removed single-use cups from aid stations, an action reported to avoid about 480 litres of waste. Post-race snacks prioritize local producers.
Registration fees vary by date and include required fees and items. Refunds of registration fees are possible up to 30 days before the event. Transfers of registration or changes of distance are allowed up to 15 days before the event. Accompanying adults on the 1 km, 1.5 km and 2 km courses must register as an accompanier; a fee of CA$7.75 is listed for that option.
Location: Place Limouloise, 3e Avenue, Québec City, QC, Canada. Partners include Clinique dentaire Myriam Hébert, Desjardins Caisse de Limoilou, Café Oui Oui and SDC Limoilou.
